Bollywood star Mahima Chaudhary made her big debut with showman Subhash Ghai’s Pardes in 1997 opposite Shah Rukh Khan. She then went on to do films like Daag- The Fire, Om Jai Jagdish, and Baghban. In an interview with Hindustan Times, she spilled the beans on how things in the industry functioned back in the 90s and how they have changed now.
She revealed how actresses were written off if they were married or had children, and the repercussions of being in a relationship. She said, “The minute you started dating someone, people would write you off because they only wanted a virgin who had not kissed. If you were dating someone, it was like, ‘Oh! She’s dating!’. If you were married, then forget it, you career was over, and if you had a child, it was like absolutely over.”
